I was thinking about opening a new thread with the pics I took but it is pretty much the same thing. I might post a few nice pics in here instead.

Amazing pics and plants and a great trip!!!!!!
We still need to come up with a date at the first CCPS meeting or FB to do some explorations in spring.

I'll see you around.
